GALATASARAY OUT FENERBAHCE IN !.....

No wonder why Fenerbahce did not look good in the Super League opening match!..

They had the CL in their minds!..

While Galatasaray lost out on the Europe's biggest tournamnet Fenerbahce surpases Last season Turkcell super league Champions to reach the CL.

That is bad news for Galatasaray fans but,it is good news for Fenerbahce fans, becasue, their team will be in the Champions League This season again.

Steaua Bucharest also upset Turkish giants Galatasaray as Banel Nicolita netted the only goal of the game to send the 1986 European Cup winners through, 3-2 on aggregate.

Rivals Fenerbahce also came into the second leg with the scores at 2-2, but they beat Partizan Belgrade 2-1 with Brazilian Alex de Souza's second goal proving crucial.

Guiza leads Fenerbahce to UCL win.....

Dani Guiza started the game with a mission: to be in charge of scoring every time he had a chance.

So, he made a soft kick at minute 3, easily saved by keeper Bozovic; at minute 12, he tried with a bicycle kick, but the ball went off target.

But he joined Semih Sentürk to create the playe before Fenerbahce's first goal: Guiza took the ball, sent a cross to Ugur Boral, who sent a longer cross in order for Sentürk to open the score.

In addition, Fenerbahce's defensive line seem to be more organized since Roberto Carlos returned to the team after an injury layoff; the counterattacks attempted by Lamine Diarra and Paunovic meant nothing to the Turkish team defenders.

In the second half, Guiza sent a cross to Alex to score the secong goal of the game. More than enough for the fans, who started chanting "Güiza, Güiza"; still, Zoran Tozic scored the goal for Partizan 15 minutes before the end of the game.
